Hydro jetting cleans pipes using extreme water pressure. Special nozzles blast away sludge, roots, and debris.

Snaking only punches a hole through a clog. Jetting scrubs the entire pipe wall clean.

No, when performed by our licensed professionals. We inspect pipes first to ensure structural safety.

Homes usually need it only during major clogs. Restaurants often require maintenance every six months.

Yes. The high-pressure stream easily slices through invasive roots inside your sewer line.

 Yes. The process uses only clean water without any harsh or toxic chemicals.

Most residential jetting jobs take one to two hours. Commercial jobs vary by line length.

They often work together. Water jetting loosens and breaks up accumulated silt, sediment, and debris inside the pipe. Vac truck service extracts that material in bulk — especially for catch basins, sumps, and large-diameter drainage infrastructure that hold significant volume. For catch basins with heavy sediment accumulation, we typically recommend using both in sequence. American Rooter provides both services, so one call handles it.

For high-volume food service operations, most health codes and municipal requirements point toward quarterly service — every three months — to control grease accumulation and maintain drain flow. Lower-volume operations may be fine on a semi-annual basis. We’ll help you build a jetting maintenance schedule based on your kitchen’s output and your drain history, not a generic default. A documented maintenance schedule also supports your position in the event of a health inspection.
